Keeping Active

Staying active should not just be something you tell your patients. It is also something that you should incorporate into your daily routine. Not only will it help you live a long and healthy life, regular activity will help you regulate stress, energy, memory and mood among many other positive attributes of being a good resident.

For the Outdoor Enthusiast:

With more than 850 parks in the Ottawa area, you should have no problem finding your neighbourhood green space!

For winter sports, the CMA offers discounts on ski passes and accommodation.

For those who prefer their activities in a sheltered environment:

Both TOH and the CMA offer Goodlife discounts. There are gyms at both the Civic and General Hospital that offer cardio equipment, weights and classes. Bruyere and St Vincents Hospital also have gyms for staff to use. Corporate Goodlife membership is good for all Goodlife and Energie Cardio gyms across Canada.
